Deathwhite Set June 10 Release for Grey Everlasting; New Video Posted
I’m not saying I made this happen or anything, but I did email Season of Mist yesterday and ask what was going on with this record, because frankly, I just couldn’t take not knowing anymore. One way or the other, the press release below is my answer about anonymous Pittsburgh melodic death-doomers Deathwhite‘s impending third album, Grey Everlasting, which follows 2020’s Grave Image (review here) and 2018’s For a Black Tomorrow (review here) and is set to issue on June 10. Preorders, the cover art, track info and a video for post-intro lead cut “Earthtomb” are available below, and no, I haven’t sent another email to the label yet harassingly asking to premiere a song with a review, but I kind of feel like that’s only because I’m too busy typing this out first.
This is a band I really dig, and I’ve been looking forward to this album since they announced last June that they were working on it, let alone when they finished in October. Have to wonder if the June release date is just for pressing concerns or if it might coincide with some manner of touring domestically or abroad, but whatever. The title-track sounds like what I’ve been wishing Katatonia would put out forever, and for today I’m gonna just dig in here and enjoy it. You can do likewise with the new video.
Still have no idea who they are, by the way. That’s some impressively-maintained anonymity.
From the PR wire:
DEATHWHITE Reveals New Album Details, Shares Official Music Video for New Song
Enigmatic dark metal outfit DEATHWHITE will be releasing their third full-length, ‘Grey Everlasting,’ on June 10 via Season of Mist! The band is now sharing the devastating first single, “Earthtomb,” along with a music video! The heart-wrenching video, which was created by Guilherme Henriques, can be found at THIS LOCATION.
DEATHWHITE comments:
“It is our abundant pleasure to share the video for ‘Earthtomb,’ the first single from ‘Grey Everlasting.’ The immaculate Guilherme Henriques shot the clip in Aceredo, Spain and Porto, Portugal. Unfortunately, the song and video are a rather timely and direct reflection of the times we live when unchecked power, deception, gas-lighting and flat-out lies are used as tools to wreak havoc upon humanity and sow discord.
“‘Earthtomb’ was written as our observation — and inherent wish — that these individuals succumb to their misdeeds. What is happening in Ukraine at the moment has, for the members of Deathwhite, made this song more prescient than ever. Our hearts go out to those impacted by this utter tragedy.”
‘Grey Everlasting’ will follow up 2020’s critically-acclaimed ‘Grave Image.’
‘Grey Everlasting’ is available to pre-order HERE: https://shop.season-of-mist.com/list/deathwhite-grey-everlasting

Really looking forward to this one! Surprised how heavy that intro is. Great stuff albeit an all too topical video…
